Chris Soules, Whitney Bischoff Speak Out After Split
— -- Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff may be dealing with a breakup, but at least they're getting love from their fans.
Both "Bachelor" stars posted notes on their social media platforms, thanking their followers for their support.
Bischoff shared a video on Instagram of a little girl welcoming her back to Chicago, and thanked her followers for their well wishes.
"From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your outpouring love, kindness and support! It means so much to me!" she wrote.
Meanwhile, Soules took to Twitter, calling the split "tough."
"I can't thank you all enough for the kind messages over the past few days," he wrote. "This has been really tough and your support means a lot to me."
Bischoff, a fertility nurse, and Soules, a farmer, got engaged in the March season finale of "The Bachelor." A publicist for Soules announced the couple's split yesterday.
"Whitney Bischoff and Chris Soules have mutually and amicably decided to end their engagement," his rep said in a statement. "They part with nothing but respect and admiration for one another and will continue to be supportive friends. They wish to thank everyone who has supported them through this journey."
